Hollow Objects

[Matten]

You can just check "Hollow", and only the borders of an object collide. For circles there is an extra function "Cake collide", with this you can say if the circle cake collides.

[Kilinich]

Since we have "holy polygons" you can make it by yourself.

[Matten]

I know that it alsocan be done with polygons, but that's an object with mass, I mean that there is a "polygon" around the object's border that doesn't weight anything, so actually his density is 0, but he still is there.

[kilebantick]

So you want an object that theoretically doesn't exist, yet something can still collide with it.

I think it's one of those "Hey, put this function in so i can use it for a project, even though it'll never be used again" type of suggestions.

[Matten]

There isn't a project I'm working on that needs hollow objects, but it's just an idea.

[Chronos]

Not a very good idea, it seems.

[Matten]

Yes, i think so...

[link0007]

It won't be physically possible, so it would kind of ruin the accuracy of the simulation..

And indeed, you wouldn't ever need it.

[coleyy]

you can just clone the polygon, make it smaller, and subtract it from the original.
example:
step 1:
step 2:
step 3:
tada! hollow polygon:

That technique sucks when used on shapes with unequal sides(as shown above). The thickness of the borders aren't equal.

i know that, but at least it is a hollow object

[Chronos]

A sucky, piece-of-shit hollow objects. Now stop bumping old topics with your crappity crap pile-o'-crap "solutions," before I go all Medieval on yo' ass, boi.
